Hola! yo también busco información sobre ese naufragio, debido a que transportaba la obra de Tenerani, "El corazón de Bolivar". He dedicado un tiempo investigando sobre este particular vapor, pues estaba escribiendo un relato de ficción histórica. En fin. Voy a mi respuesta: según esta publicación de prensa aparecida en Caracas en octubre de 1867, la ubicación del hundimiento sería a 100 millas al NO de Boca del Dragón, y los náufragos tocaron tierra unos en cercanias de Carúpano y otros en Puerto España.

Saludos!!!
